Hi love, thank you for your very sweet comment! Love you xx

Hi Jodylynn, thank you for your kind comment. I am glad to hear that tretinoin is working for you as well. I know, isn't is silly. My husband used to ask me to smile in pictures and I just hated those lines. I have made piece with them though and agree with you, I hope we will see a change in the way people und us women as well think about aging. You are def. helping to make that change I hope you are doing ok and are having a good weekend

Betsy, thank you for putting a smile on my face with your very sweet and thoughtful comment! I am really happy you are here, and I am glad to hear you love Tamara as much as I do Wishing you a wonderful weekend xx

Hi Joey, I am so glad you shared your experience with Sculptra, as I was starting to doubt it a bit. After my first treatment, there is hardly a difference, and I just had my second, but now that I heard about your experience, I am more hopeful. Please continue to keep us posted. It is always great to hear from you and I hope you are having a great weekend xx

Hi Pandora, it is great to hear from you, thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment! I am envious of you having used Retin A for 17 years! That is amazing and I can only imagine how good it has been for your skin. I know it is very challenging to see differences when we see ourselves in the mirror daily, but I am certain your skin has greatly benefited, not just from the retin a, but everything else you are doing to take care of it and keep it healthy. It is great to hear you are seeing benefits from the LED as well, I do to and also love how absolutely relaxing it is to use. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend, love to Canada from Paris xx

Same here. I have been using .05% for three months 1-2x week and bumped down to .03% for about three months. It’s better but still causes a lot of flaking. I have, however, started noticing some positive changes in the firmness of my skin and neck. I am now trying retinal, which I can use more frequently with less irritation. And I’ll switch out to the tretinoin once a week. We’ll see how that goes.

Please keep us posted, Melissa. It is actually not a bad idea to mix different retionoids, so using some retinal or even retinol a few days and tretinoin on the others. Not only can it help cut down on irritation, but Dr Fernandes (is is the pioneer of micro needling) says that each retionoid affects the receptors a bit differently, therefor we can possibly get an broader improvement Please keep us posted xx

You are very sweet Debbie, thank you for your kind words! I am always happy to see your name pop up in my comments and read your thoughtful messages. I hope you are doing well and are having a good weekend. How are things in Canada? xx

@@claudiaglows Unfortunately the omicron virus has been wrecking havoc here. Luckily it has much more mild symptoms especially when vaccinated. They are saying that it will fizzle out soon and the virus will be an endemic. . How are things in Paris?

@@debbielale6417 I am sorry for the late reply, I just found your comment. It is the same here in Paris. Numbers are really high, but we are hoping that because of Omicron, it will turn into an endemic soon. Lets keep our fingers crossed. Stay healthy xx

Hi Mary, thank you for being here and for the kind compliment. Are you back on your tretinoin? I hope so, I know how much you missed it xx

Hi Emer, thank you for being here. I am glad to hear you are seeing some good results with retin a as well. I agree, I too think I see the most difference under my eyes. Too bad we can not use it on our neck much :(. But some people can not handle it under the eyes, so I guess it is a trade off. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend xx

I am glad to hear that tretinoin is making a difference for you as well. And you are one lucky girl, to first off all get 0.1% (it does not exist in France), and that you can use it on your neck. I am envious. Thank you for sharing your experience with us as well, Sara. And thank you for your lovely complliment xx

Hi gorgeous, thank you for your kind words. I am glad to hear you are seeing some results with tret. as well. I don't think you need to use it daily to get good results. I hope you are having a great weekend xo

Hi Andrea, thank you so much for your great, thoughtful comment. And thank you for the tips! Yes, the hands, you are so right, I need to include them. And what a great tip about the neck, I will try that. I actually just purchased a humidifier, and you are right, it def. makes a difference. You are one lucky girl, having used Retin a since the 70's! Your skin must be incredibly healthy Thank you again for your kind words and all the great tips, I hope you will have a wonderful week xx

Andrea, thanks for the tip about using retin a on cuticles. I have used on backs of hands for a few years but have never thought of nail/cuticle area - it’s only been 5 days and what a difference!

What does a humidifier do please Claudia? Add moisture to the air in the room I suppose. I had t thought about the skin benefit of that. I do live in a hurry I'd climate though.

@@notaclue822 hi Shirley. Yes, it adds some moister back into the air which can really help if you live in a dry climate or even right now in winter

hey andrea, in which rotation do you use BHA?

Hi Shirley, you are lucky to handle tretenoin so well. And even on your neck, that is great. If you can handle it under your eyes (some or sensitive just like I am on the neck) you can definitely use it there. It does not thin the skin, only the top layer, but thickness the epidermis Please keep me posted on how it works out under your eyes Have a wonderful weekend

Hi my gorgeous friend. Thank you so much for your very thoughtful comment. What you are doing is actually a great idea! Dr Fernandes, the pioneer of micro needling says it is great to mix different retionoids, since they all affect the receptors and therefor the skin a bit differently.

@@claudiaglows well I try alot haha. But I do love Revision D.E.J eyecream and their soothing facial rinse. I absolutely love Truth treatments transdermal C serum( I mix with a hydrating mist) I also like Neocutis firm illuminating &tightening eyecream but Revision is my fav. I just tried IS clinical active peel system. I thought, oh it's gonna be like the Dr.Dennis Gross 2 step pads but it's actually better!!! Truth treatments also has the transdermal C BALM and I use that at night and it's soothing. Sorry this is so long but I love skincare too. At 53 almost 54 I haven't had any botox or filler yet. Trying to agree gracefully but I think in the spring I may bite the bullet and atleast try liplift. (Botox)

@@lynndecarlo6704 Please never apologize for leaving a long comment, especially when it’s about skin care :-). Absolutely love the TT c balm! I need to order some more. And I will also try some of the other products you have mentioned. Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

Hi Julie, it is great to hear from you. And what great advice! I will def. follow it, since I would really like to eventually use retin a on my neck. I am so glad your neck was able to adapt and I will keep you posted on my success. Wishing you a great day xx

Hi Holly, I am happy you are here. I am sorry to hear it has been so difficult for you to adjust to retin a. Have you tried buffering it? Please keep us posted on your tretinoin jourrney xx

I stopped before , but this time I am mixing the pea size retin A with the moisturizer and it rubs all over the face much easier and the flaking is smaller and not as noticeable . And when my face looks too red I back off for a few days . Also using CeraVe hydrating face wash to restore the moisture barrier . And if the face and neck is too red - I use the aqua phor which was given for after C02 resurfacing .It's a great time because wearing a mask hides most of the peeling .I'm heading into my 2nd month and the skin is looking better

Why do you torture your skin with tretinoin? It doesn‘t work for everyone. Some skin types can not tolerate it, no matter how many decades you try. Buy a good 0.1% retinaldehyde serum or cream and enjoy beautiful skin. Chronic skin inflammation and irritation causes skin aging.

Hi Rhonda, thank you for your very sweet comment. I am sorry to hear you are dealing with some growth and hope the Retin A will be helpful. Please keep us posted. Also, please keep us posted on how the retinisation is going. I hope you will have some great results with tretinoin. Wishing you a wonderful Sunday xx

@@claudiaglows I've started using Curology in order to get a lower dosage as the lowest drugstore prescription is 0.025% so I'm very hopeful. I consider my barnacles the cost of a wonderful youth living at the beach, barely clothed, and out in the sun. I feel fortunate that harmless barnacles are my only concern! I'll let you know how it works out for me!

Hi Laurel, thank you for your kind compliment. A friend of mine used to say "at a certain age, you have to decide between your butt and your face", and as I am aging, I can see there is def. some truth in that ;). I hope you are having a beautiful weekend xx

Thank you for your lovely comment and for sharing your experience with Tret. That is really interesting that you had no side effects aside from a bit of itching. You are very luck and I hope you will get great results x

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience with Retin a. My neck gets itchy as well from it, but I will try doing what you do I hope it works for you to use it under your eyes, please keep us posted

Hi Lou, it is great to hear you are on the tretinoin journey as well and I hope you will get great results. I have not heard of the service you use, but it sounds very interesting. I have the Neova tinted SPF on my face, which is usually what I will wear during the day or in videos. It is a great SPF, with a very slight tint. I hope you are having a great weekend, thank you for your very kind words xo

Hi Laurie, thank you for your very kind comment and for being here. Not a stupid question at all. I use my tretinoin under my eyes and have from the start. I go all the way to my lower waterline without any irritation. I do not use it on the upper lids, simply because I have not even thought about it :) Some will travel however, so applying it on the forehead, some will travel a bit further down to the brow. I would say try applying it under the eyes. If you get any irritation or dryness, you can buffer it with an eye cream or moisturiser. Please let me know how it goes Wishing you a great week

@@claudiaglows thank you so much for the reply. Tomorrow night when I do my trentinoin I will give it a go and test it under my eyes. 🥰

Hi D"Anna, thank you for being here and for your sweet comment. I hope you are having a great weekend xx

Thank you for your kind comment, Marie. I think that hyaluronic acid injections can be helpful for overall glow and hydration. But I am not certain how long the benefits stick around. If you try it, please keep us posted x

Can I ask how long the sensitivity from tretinoin lasted for you? I'm going on 8 months with tret and I still find my skin is so sensitive and I compared to before using tret

@@juliannayates9379 My sensitivity lasted about six months but I learned to buffer it with a lightweight moisturizer underneath. If I apply it onto bare skin, I will still have sensitivity.

I am happy to hear you are having great results with retin a as well! Have you been on the same strength the whole 10 years, or have you gone up in strength? I hope you are having a great weekend, thank you for being here xx

Hi Julianna, I think you have a great suggestion here, to buffer the retin a with a light weight moisturiser. I hope it will work for you, please keep us posted. xx

@@claudiaglows I started off with 0.5% and after using that for two years, my dermatologist put me on 1.%. It is best to take it slowly but be consistent.

Hi, thank you for being here and sharing your experience with retinoic acid. I have heard that adapelene is a bit easier on the skin than tretinoin, but has very similar effects. It is great to hear it is working so well for you. Keep us posted on how you are doing with the tretinoin. It might be a bit easier on the skin once the weather gets warmer... Wishing you a wonderful day xx

It is nice to hear from you, Ekata and I am glad to hear that you can handle retin a on your neck. Maybe in summer I will give it another try. Wishing you a wonderful weekend

Hi Isabelle, thank you for being here. I do not think your doctor is very educated on Tretinoin. Here are some of the studies I shared www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2699641/ I would say if you now just started using it every day, stick with the 0.05% for a while before moving up. More is not always better ;) I hope you are having a wonderful weekend xx

Oui, vous pouvez l'utiliser sous les yeux. Je fais. Certaines personnes deviennent très sèches lorsqu'elles l'utilisent sous les yeux, donc si cela se produit, vous pouvez d'abord appliquer une crème pour les yeux, puis la trétinoïne.

Please keep us posted Wishing you a wonderful Sunday, thank you for being here xx

Hi, thank you for being here. You know, strangely I do not get flakey skin, but it is quite common, since tretinoin speeds up cell turnover. If you have no irritation, I would not worry about it, and hopefully at some point it will stop Please keep me posted xx

Hi Louise, I take mine all the way under they eye without any irritation. I do not believe that topical retin a causes dry eyes, but internal, such as in Accutane, def. can

@@claudiaglows Ah, ok, maybe that's what it is. Thank you for the reply.

Hi Melinda You know, I have been wanting to try using retinaldehyde on my neck, and the Maelove one sounds like a great one. I might just have to order a bottle. I hope your surgery goes well and I can not wait to hear how you feel about the under eye PRP. Lots of love, please let me know how the surgery went xx

Hi Angelina, you know, I am starting to wonder about that as well. I did ask my doctor if the laser could cause fat loss and he said no and explained that first of the laser does not target the subcutaneous layer and second the heat would have to stay in touch with the skin for longer to cause fat loss. But there could always be an exception to the rule. If you are concerned, I would say make sure your doctor is willing to talk about all the risks and can explain them to you. Please keep us posted

@@claudiaglows thank you! ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope you are having a beautiful weekend xx

Hi, thank you for being here. Yes, though some people are a bit sensitive around the eyes. If you do develop a sensitivity, you can apply a moisturizer first, than the Retin a. Please keep me posted

Hi Kellian, thank you so much for your very kind and thoughtful comment. I completely agree, that we all need to embrace our unique beauty and appreciate how wonderfully we are made. And while it might seem as if I am picking myself apart by comparing before and afters, I merely sharing my experience. Self acceptance is something I have worked hard on, and something I do not ever want to compromise. You are not the only one wondering if I have lost weight, however, I have been the same weight (plus or minus a couple of pounds) for over a decade.

Hi gorgeous, I am always happy to see your beautiful face pop up here xo

Hi, I am happy you are here! And lucky you that you can handle Retin a in your neck. Many of us actually can’t since the skin on the neck is thinner and more sensitive. I can handle Retin a on my neck once or twice a week but unfortunately not daily x

@@claudiaglows Thank you for replying ☺️ Yes I was very surprised that my face accepted the tretinoin without much protest. Usually I have very sensitive skin. Not on the rest of my body but face and neck and décolletage. So I am happy and grateful I tolerate it well. Maybe if you go very slow and mix it with some other cream for a period of time .. maybe then u can still get your neck to tolerate it

Hi, while I have lost fat in my face, it is def. not from Retin A. Retin A does not cause fat or volume loss. I think it is just how my face decided to age :)

I appreciate your feedback. However, I do not believe that I have significant bone loss, but simply age related fat loss. My bone structure is actually quite strong, which makes my face more sunken looking. I do have an almost 20 year history of anorexia, which probably has made me age a bit this way as well, but now my diet is well balanced and sufficient. But this is just how my face divide to age;)

@@claudiaglows If you have 20 years history of anorexia then it would almost be a miracle if there was no bone loss. I am not judging you not at all i can relate. I never had an eating disorder per se, I was just not a big eater it was not important to me so i just did not care about it much in my younger years. I would go for days on a bar of chocolate or coffee cause I was busy and couldn’t be bothered. And I always felt it does not negatively impact me. Only in hindsight could I see that it did a lot of damage i was depriving my body of nutrients for many years. And even later when I did realize and I did switch to eating healthily.. i then ate healthy foods but the quantity was still too little which I didn’t know as compared to how I ate before i thought I was eating properly and more than enough. It was a long journey to get to the right place as far as adequate nutrient intake. And my face looks a lot better now. I barely gained weight despite of eating much more now, maybe 2 kgs total, but especially the face looks so much healthier now it’s like night and day. To go back to what I was saying.. The bone structure itself which you are referring to is a different thing, if you have high cheeks etc that’s your genetics that will always be uniquely yours. But the bone has lost lot of its density it’s clear to see when you compare to the before picture. Here I go preaching again🙈 Just it hits home somehow as I know this journey well myself. Its all about adequate nutrition and it just takes a toll over the years if we lack in that department. And now I’ll stop being the “know it all” .. am sure all will be well and I wish you the best for your journey 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@@IloveCamels335Thank you for sharing a bit about yourself. I def. think that having been anorexic has caused some damage, bone loss was luckily not one of them since I was always on estrogen and ran and lifted weights. Where my face is sunken, is no bone really, but a cavity usually filled out by facial fat. So I really do not believe that a nutritional deficiency has caused the hallowing, but simply aging. That being said, we all lose bone mass, even in the face as we age, however I do not think we can compare the two pictures and jump the conclusion that I have inadequate nutrition.

Hi, I definitely think you can use Tretenoin with Squalene. I would apply the tretenoin first, unless you are super sensitive, than you capsules apply the oil first. Please keep me posted Have a wonderful week xx

@@claudiaglows Thank you Claudia, you are always so sweet!❤ I did try the Squalane and I put it on 1st & woke up with zero irritation or dryness. I did wait a 1/2 hour & then added some moisturizer over my extra dry areas around my mouth before I went to bed. It's very dry here plus I have very dry skin but Tretinoin gives me the best results but I have never been able to use it consistently but I think this Squalane is the ticket! I was amazed how good my skin felt in the morning. Do you have any suggestions for sun spots and sun damage? I have tried so many things

@@Misskitty15 that is awesome! The Retin a will help reverse some of the sun damage, and of course SPF will help prevent new damage. For the spots, something like IPL can be quite helpful

@@claudiaglows What's IPL?

@@claudiaglows Thanks again!💕

Hi Jawehara, I am happy you are here. Unfortunately I do not know what kind of tretinoin is available in Morocco. I think it would be best to either go to a dermatologist to ask for a prescription, or go to a pharmacy and as them if you need a prescription for tretinoin. If they do not have tretionoin at the pharmacy, you might want to look for over the counter options. I know the ordinary has retinol, but I do not know if you can purchase the ordinary in Morocco. Please keep me posted

Hi Nick, thank you for your sweet comment. I did not experience any hair loss. I do think it can happen, but it is very, very rare. Wishing you a great day xx

Hi, great to hear from you. No, unfortunately you need a prescription for Retin a in Paris, or France in general. And I learned that the only strength available in France is 0.025% and 0.05%, no 0.1% unfortunately.

You can find from spanish pharmacy online

@@delphinevdr9128 thank you for your response, do you have a link that you can share? Is it safe? Thanks

I've been buying mine for the past three years from Farmacia Tristaina based in Andorra. The brand name is Retirides. Available in 3 strengths. It's sent via the Spanish postal system, so no issue with customs etc. I'm in Ireland. It is safe, I've ordered multiple times. In fact last time my parcel got lost en route, I emailed and they immediately resent the items. So customer service is good too. Postage is pricey but less so if you order a few tubes at once. Hope that helps!

@@emerc377 thank you

Hi Nana, nice to hear from you. Yes, side sleeping can def. contribute to lines and wrinkles. Some people say that silk pillow cases help some, since there is less friction. But of course it is not just friction, but also pressure that causes the lines, so sleeping on the back is really the most helpful xx

@@claudiaglows Thanks Claudia I am going to have to train myself to do that because I certainly don’t need any more wrinkles than I already have lol I just started CUROLOGY. I have a dermatologist to talk to so we will see if it works for me like I know it does for so many others.What kind of a pillow do you sleep on?

@@nanastirt8611 Please keep me posted. I sleep on the Sleep and Glow pillow and absolutely love it

@@claudiaglows Thank you dear. How do I get one?❤️

@@claudiaglows I love that your pillow has the word GLOW in it :-) so appropriate❤️
